Guesthouses
Guesthouses, which are often just large converted houses with half a dozen rooms, are an extension of the B&B concept. In general, they’re less personal than B&Bs, and more like small budget hotels.
Hotels
Britain’s large town and city hotels offer every comfort that you’d expect central heating, bedside radio, TV, coffee-making facilities and private bathrooms. There will be a restaurant and bar (sometimes several) on the premises. An increasing number of hotels have leisure facilities for their guests swimming pools, tennis courts, small golf courses and saunas for example. Others have local arrangements for pony-trekking, golf, fishing, sailing and so on. Hotels and restaurants are obliged by law to display current prices prominently.
Rental Accommodation
There has been an upsurge in the number of houses and cottages available for short-term rent. Staying in one place gives you an opportunity to get a real feel for a region and a community.
Outside weekends and July/August, it’s not essential to book a long way ahead. You may be able to book a long way ahead. You may be able to book through TICs, but there are also excellent agencies who supply glossy brochures to help the decision-making.
The tourist boards rate self-catering accommodation with one to five keys; the more keys, the more facilities. One key indicates a property is clean and comfortable, has adequate heating, lighting and seating, a TV, cooker, fridge and crockery and cutlery.
